Moscow (HRNW): Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, has warned that Finland’s decision to lift restrictions on hosting nuclear weapons on its territory could have serious consequences.
According to Medvedev, the policy shift means that Finland has now become a potential target in Russia’s nuclear planning. Speaking in a sarcastic tone, he remarked that Finland had achieved the “highest level of security” through its decision.
The Russian official’s comments come amid heightened tensions between Russia and Western countries, with security concerns in Europe remaining a major focus following Finland’s accession to NATO and the evolving regional security landscape.
Analysts say the statement is likely to draw reactions from NATO and European governments as concerns over strategic stability and military deterrence continue to grow across the region.
